Wimbledon report

 

As an ex-teacher, obviously I would say this but the one thing professional sport and media has going for it is these human moments … signs of humanity en masse. And kudos to the players too, plus the umpire, getting into the spirit … I’m sure everyone wanted it all to go well.

And the thrill for all kids watching too … US baseball knows the formula … sadly football, for example, seems not to have these things.

Sunday [1 to 5]

(0714) A good time to open … morning all, sun here outside. (0740)

1. DAD at 1104

a) The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened a criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s X platform for suspected manipulation of algorithms for the purposes of “foreign interference.” The “suspicion” relates to manipulation in favor of the AfD…

b) Seven people suspected of being involved in migrant smuggling were arrested Friday evening near Saint-Omer in the Pas-de-Calais region. The suspects are four Romanians, a Somali national, an Iranian, and an Iraqi.

c) Across Europe, a new kind of politics is taking root. It is sectarian, identitarian, and increasingly shaped by the demands of Islamist interest groups, cloaked in the demands of progressivism and tolerance.

d) Prophesy regarding Pammy. Is Megyn correct?

……

JH: DJT is certainly bewitched by her in full war paint.

Saturday [16 till close of play]

(1705) Evening all.

 

26. This looks very bad for Donald Trump, terrible optics

… ignoring his base, calling them “selfish people” and focussing on “files” and “lists”, which are irrelevant … it’s simply the names of perps, being charged, which MAGA has made quite clear they want … and were promised. 2026 is coming.


25. Last Refuge

“Keep in mind Mizelle was legal counsel to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, when all those sketchy determinations were made. Now Mizelle is the top lawyer assisting Bondi with DOJ transition…. Don’t say the signs were not there!”

24. Y’all have the most fabulous Saturday evening now

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, tada.

Mind you, it’s sensation seeking MSM but all the same … I briefly visited that school long long ago … you’d never have known it was a hotbed of naughtiness. Then again, how would we have known?

Review:

“Directed by Montgomery Tully and adapted to screenplay by Maurice J. Wilson from the novel written by Laurence Meynell. It stars Tony Wright, Patricia Dainton, Sandra Dorne, Derek Aylward, Sam Kydd, Llewellyn Rees and Anita Sharp-Bolster. Music is by John Veale and cinematography by James Harvey.

When Jean Linton (Dainton) inherits a house in the country she hopes her hard drinking novelist husband David (Wright) will settle down and make something of himself and their marriage. However, when sultry Valerie Stockley (Dorne) arrives on the scene it’s not long before David’s head is turned and he begins to plot the murder of his wife. Jean is in trouble, but she has an ally, the resident poltergeist of Four Winds House…

Simplicity of plot and economical of running time and technical attributes, The House in Marsh Road should not be sought out by any “horror” fan craving poltergeist terror. This is a quaint and fun chiller for the most part, even with an air of jauntiness for the first half, in fact very much like The Uninvited (1944) in how the presence of a ghost is not seen as something to be outright feared. Then the mood for the latter stages of the play notably shifts into darker territory, here the dastardly David starts to put his plans in motion, something which signals time for the poltergeist to take a hand in proceedings. Which leads to a very good and genuinely edgy denouement at pics finale. 

It never lacks for atmosphere or period flavours, or indeed for competency of performances and direction, where although it never breaks out into the upper echelons of other classic British chillers, it’s still something of a “B” chiller worthy of inspection by those who don’t need to be jolted out their seats. As for “Patrick the Poltergeist”, he’s rightly kept off screen, or is he? One scene appears to show him? Either that or a prop guy is guilty of standing in the shot? See if you can spot the moment and judge for yourself. It’s just another fun part of a movie that provides gentle chills and honest entertainment.”

(Maryland state flower by the way.)

Thing with Hillary is she gets anxious, maybe tries a bit hard, wants it all to go well, almost your daughter dear, spoke with her, lovely person. Other girl Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, banjo Victor Furtado.

The very nature of the clogging-fiddling though makes it a bit like that steel drum band … lovely people, lots of fun but how many songs can you listen to in a row?

In my case, hours of her, strictly as a daughter type I’m proud of … hours of them in turn, but for male reasons, esp. the rhythm steelpan player. But for you? In general? For most people? Jury’s out.
